Issue with plugin installation

[cocodinos]

Hi there, thanks for what looks like an impressive plugin.

I am trying to include the plugin in my Grails 2.3.5 project by adding

compile ":barcode4j:0.3"

to my BuildConfig.groovy

I keep getting the following error

| Error Resolve error obtaining dependencies: Failed to resolve dependencies (Set log level to 'warn' in BuildConfig.groovy for more information):

• org.apache.ant:ant:1.8.4

  (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)

My internet connection is fine, I am able to reach public maven repositories etc.

Any suggestions on what is going on here? Thanks.

Kind regards,
Konstantinos

Managed to get the plugin to install using

    compile(":barcode4j:0.3") { excludes "ant" }

not sure what might cause further down the line
